Family Promise Montco PA, a Roslyn-based food cupboard, has received $50,000 through the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) Reach and Resiliency Grants, facilitated by Senator Maria Collett.
During Hunger Action Month, Senator Collett announced $153,764 in funding for local food banks, pantries, and soup kitchens in Montgomery County.
“When our neighbors face the choice between paying for groceries or paying for rent, local food pantries are there to help, no questions asked,” said Senator Collett. “These food assistance grants will have an immediate impact in our community, making sure pantry doors stay open and residents can access to the resources they need. I thank Governor Shapiro for his commitment to fighting food insecurity across Pennsylvania, especially during Hunger Action Month.”
Other grant recipients in Montgomery County include:
- ACLAMO – $20,000
- Manna on Main Street – $20,615
- Martha’s Choice Marketplace – $38,137
